Default DVLA email scam.

Quick heads up for those not on line all the time that may not be aware.

I just had this turn up in my inbox :-

"DVLA You are eligible to receive a refund"

Just 2 of many Googles about it :-

Have a nice day and let's be careful out there.

Very true, although I wouldn't wish it on anybody, but look at how many give huge amounts of cash to couriers that have allegedly been sent by their bank etc. etc. There are too many trusting people out there. Just wait and see how many rogue Personal Pension advice sites appear out of the internet murk with the upcoming change in the annuity/pension rules.

I am suspicious of everything and everybody.

I had over 20 of these DVLA ones sitting on my PC at work when I got in this morning..........

Fortunately some kind individual warned me about these things and I deleted them.......

Note to Boss: - Must increase the spam filter a bit.............
